The first step in the dinner that almost wasn't was opening the chicken (which was still "good" by the date on the package) to smell nasty, rotten eggs. Yuck.

Rotten chicken.

:(

Sadness.

No chicken marsala stuffed raviloi for us.
And, an extra trip back to the store.

Off I went to return the chicken... I was so disgusted I did not want to exchange it for another package. So, I picked up a package of mini bella mushrooms to make Tyler Florence's mushroom pizza dish.

Fail #2.

The mushrooms had a soft white non-edible mushroom fungus growing on them. And... they were dated "best if used by 05-09-10"... which was the day before I actually bought them!

That's when I saw his Margherita Pizza. I didn't have enough time to make the dough associated with this recipe, so I used the dough from his Ultimate Pizza recipe which only required 30 minutes of rise time.

There is nothing like homemade pizza! I am soo glad everything worked out! Thanks for linking to Tuesday Tastes! Polls just opened for the People's Choice Award! Stop by and and vote when you get a chance -just click on your fav recipe!
